Unfortunately logs are insufficient to understand it. I've pushed new 
tag to TE v1.19.0 which add log message with TE_* environment variables.
Most likely something is wrong with variables which are used as 
conditions when available networks are defined in 
ts-conf/cs/inc.net_cfg_pci_fns.yml:
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_IUT_TST1
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_IUT_TST1a
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_TST1a_IUT
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_TST1_IUT
My guess it that you change naming a bit, but script like 
ts-rigs-sample/scripts/iut.h1-x710 is not included or not updated.

This one is a bit simpler. Few lines after the first ERROR in log I see 
the following:
WARN  RCF  DPDK  13:06:00.144
ice_program_hw_rx_queue(): currently package doesn't support RXDID (22)
ice_rx_queue_start(): fail to program RX queue 0
ice_dev_start(): fail to start Rx queue 0
Device with port_id=0 already stopped

It is stdout/stderr from test agent which runs DPDK. Same logs in plain 
format are available in ta.DPDK file.
I'm not an expert here, but I vaguely remember that E810 requires 
correct firmware and DDP to be loaded.
There is some information in dpdk/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst.

You can try to add --dev-args=safe-mode-support=1 command-line option 
described there.

Hope it helps,
Andrew.
